The service attitude.......................Nectarean Mellows
We think that I am the center of all existence, all the universe is revolving around me. What makes me happy is good, what doesn’t make me happy is bad. It’s that mentality that keeps us within material existence. So the consciousness of the vaishnava is the opposite. Not to be selfish, but to be selfless. How can I please the Lord? How could I be the servant of the servant of the servant? The deities are here not for my pleasure. I am here for the deities’ pleasure. The vasinavas are not here for simply to satisfy my whims and my desires, I should be here to satisfy their desires. That is the service attitude. That’s what it means dasa dasa dasanudasa – that’s what it means to be grateful and Krishna conscious.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
